Happily Ever After


Weddings are out of control. Thousands of dollars are spent every day on ceremonies that last for a few hours. All too often, the marriages don't last much longer. If couples would devote as much time, effort and enthusiasm to planning the marriage as they do the wedding, they'd probably stay married a lifetime. The wedding should not be the be-all and end-all to a relationship. It should be the beginning of a 50 year partnership. Obviously, too many marriages are entered into lightly these days, since spouses are traded in like used cars---this isn't meeting my expectations, guess I'll get a newer model. Young couples contemplating marriage should stop to realize that it isn't the wedding that counts, it's the happily ever after.
